Gergely Kovács, the mayor of Budapest’s 12th district, has announced he will not seek re-election as co-leader of the Momentum Movement (MKKP). Kovács cited a lack of time dedicated to party affairs over the past two years as a key factor in his decision. He indicated that his mayoral duties have demanded nearly all of his attention, leaving insufficient capacity for effective participation in the party’s leadership. This decision follows a period where he was largely unable to devote time to Momentum’s operations. The move potentially signals a shift in the party’s leadership structure. Further details regarding a successor have not yet been released. This announcement comes as Momentum navigates a challenging political landscape in Hungary.
